What will I get from taking part?

Who will be teaching the project?
This years top producers will be Kelly Snook, who is a member of the music collective mi.mu gloves alongside song-writer Imogen Heap. Hugh Worskett who has collaborated with the likes of the Crystal Fighters, Rae Morris and Birdy. Electronic duo One Bit, Joe Murphy and Jonty Howard, have featured on BBC Radio 1 and worked with radio presenters, Phil Taggart and Huw Stephens.

Do I need any particular skills or experience to take part?
You need to have a track you’d like to record and think would benefit from some professional input. In our experience, the tracks that come out best are when the selected artists are really keen to take on board the producer’s advice and ideas, as opposed to coming into the studio with stems for a nearly finished track. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with some incredible people.

Is there anything I need to bring or wear?
We have amps, guitars, basses and drums here, but if you want to use your own, please feel free. Other than that, just an open mind and a willingness to craft some exceptional ideas.
